"Sister, you are back. Lang Jun brought me the watercolor powder from the fairy world. Hehe, look, the eyebrows he painted on me are so ugly. They are not as good-looking as the ones my sister painted."
Zhang Yan's face turned red and she knew she had made a mistake. She smiled sweetly and said, "It's pretty good-looking."
Huang Xiao saw the deep sadness in Zhang Yan's eyebrows and took a step forward.
"Is there anything wrong with coming to the palace so late?"
Zhang Yan nodded, "It's about tomorrow's wedding and celebration. Your Majesty asked me to discuss it with you."
After she finished speaking, she said to Zhang Lizhen: "Zhen'er, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. My sister won't be able to go there tonight."
Zhang Lizhen nodded sensibly.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister. Your Majesty, sister, and husband are still working on my wedding so late at night. Sister, you are so kind!"
Zhang Yan nodded.
After Zhang Lizhen said goodbye to Huang Xiao, she went back to her room to study the cosmetics sent by Huang Xiao.
"This is not the place to talk. Go to your courtyard."
Huang Xiaodao: "Huichun Hall or?"
"Go to the fairy world."
Huang Xiao nodded.
Zhang Yan stretched out her hand and the two passed through.
Huang Xiao turned on the indoor lights and sat comfortably on the sofa.
Zhang Yan sat on the corner sofa, not too close but not too far away.
"What's going on with your clan members?"
Huang Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Who knows what happened? Anyway, they know me and I don't know them. However, they should all be true. No one dares to pretend."
Zhang Yan smiled slightly.
Huang Xiaodao: "My father's brothers are my uncle, my aunt, a cousin, a cousin, and relatives of the Huang family. In addition, the only relatives on my mother's side are my uncle's family of three."
"You know, strictly speaking, they and I are strangers, but since I occupy this body, they can be considered my relatives. However, they don't have anything to say. They talk to themselves, so I just listen. Let's just leave it at that, and finally I got impatient, so I invited Mrs. Liu to keep me company."
Zhang Yan nodded: "But why did we find him after half a year?"
Huang Xiaodao: "In this era of backward communication, isn't this a normal thing? They went back together after attending my father's funeral. According to them, the return journey alone took three months. When they learned about my confirmation After that, that was a month ago.”
"However, they came much faster this time, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to catch up, haha."
Huang Xiao's heart moved, and he always felt that something was wrong. When he came over, Huang's father had died less than ten days ago. How could these clan members have time to attend Huang's father's funeral?
Zhang Yan said softly: "No matter what, we are all blood relatives. This is human nature. You have to live up to your dignity."
Huang Xiao waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a look at the situation first. Anyway, it's just that. I don't feel any family affection. I'll ask Old Wei to help me check later. By the way, Your Majesty, if you have anything to tell me, , I want my sister-in-law to tell me, and I will go into the palace by myself."
Zhang Yan sighed and said: "Someone informed me... Your Majesty knows about it."
Huang Xiao was shocked and sat up straight.
"What's going on? It's that bastard who is causing trouble!"
Zhang Yan recounted what happened.
"His Majesty Long Yan is furious and doesn't want to see me, is he?"
He murmured in despair: "This day has finally come!"
Zhang Yan shook her head.
"No, that's not the case."
Zhang Yan relayed Zhu Youxiao's oath before she could continue.
Huang Xiao was so shocked that he stood up.
"Brother treats me like this, I..."
Before Huang Xiao could recover, Zhang Yan's next words completely shocked Huang Xiao.
"I told Your Majesty that I have fallen in love with you!"
Huang Xiao was stunned.
"this……"
Zhang Yan said: "I also said that you didn't know. I didn't say anything else. However, I heard what your Majesty meant. Compared with the country of Ming Dynasty, I am nothing. Your Majesty gave me to you." Already..."
Zhang Yan paraphrased Zhu Youxiao's words again.
Huang Xiao was ashamed and moved at the same time!
Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan's wholehearted care made Huang Xiao burst into tears.
At this moment, he deeply regretted that he had failed to control his own desires, causing things to reach such a point that they could no longer be undone.
"No! It's not like that! I'm going to confess to my eldest brother. It's all my fault. I took advantage of the situation and seduced my sister-in-law. I'm a villain and a scumbag. I have no face to face my sister-in-law again. Big brother..."
Zhang Yan was shocked.
"You want to retire? No! Never!"
Huang Xiao shed tears, "The big mistake is irreversible, even if Ming Dynasty leaves me, it can still continue to operate!
I've been here before, done useful things, and made mistakes, so that's..."
Zhang Yan interrupted loudly: "You can be considered a coward! A coward who dares to do something but not to act! Regardless of my shame, I shouldered everything in front of His Majesty! Your Majesty would rather... would rather take a step back to repay you and fulfill your wish. You, is this how you repay His Majesty and me?"
"Do you know how much determination it took His Majesty to make this decision, and you know how embarrassed and ashamed I was at the time! I wished I could die right away!
Your Majesty is like this, and I am like this, for what reason?
This is all to prevent you from being embarrassed. Otherwise, Your Majesty can regard it as just a rumor, and shouldn’t we live like this?
But in order to satisfy you, Your Majesty has already made such concessions!
You said, if you just walk away, what does it mean? Will your conscience be at ease? "
Huang Xiao felt even more guilty after being scolded by Zhang Yan like this, and could only cry silently.
Zhang Yan felt sad when she saw Huang Xiao lost her soul.
The voice softened: "Besides, this matter is not as important as you think. In the royal family, there are things that are a thousand times more ridiculous than this. It is not that I am not as important in your Majesty's mind as you think. Don't If you have a mental burden, you have to cheer up and work hard as always, I am just a grind on your way forward!"
Huang Xiao was a little confused, "Is that so?"
Zhang Yan nodded: "Do you need me to give an example?"
Huang Xiao was speechless.
He sighed and wiped his tears.
"I have to give His Majesty an explanation for this matter. You cannot bear all the bad reputation alone, nor can you continue to deceive Your Majesty. Just as you scolded me just now, I, Huang Xiao, cannot be a coward!"
"Yes, I like you! I will give you happiness, and I will ask your Majesty for forgiveness!"
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it's okay if you can think about it this way. However, I think it's better to downplay this matter. The more entangled you continue, the more it becomes like a tangled thread and you can't figure it out. You have to make a prompt decision. , like a sharp knife cutting through a mess! Think about it carefully."
Huang Xiao nodded.
Zhang Yan said: "In addition, Your Majesty believes that there are thieves who want to cause chaos, and the target is the three of us!"
Huang Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't care less about the affair between his children just now.
"Ah! It's possible! It's very possible!"
Zhang Yan said: "Your Majesty has mobilized 20,000 Dahuangzhuang soldiers and horses to guard the capital overnight to ensure that the capital is safe and worry-free."
Huang Xiaodao: "But what about outside the capital? Maybe they will do something on the railway!"
